The production
All products in the EUROLUX series are made from a high-quality aluminium alloy sourced from German smelters using the tried-and-tested "MADE IN GERMANY" permanent mould casting process and are produced piece by piece by hand.
- The process has been the same for decades, even if some technical developments have of course taken place.
- A very, very rough overview of the production process:
- The aluminium is melted at approx. 800 degrees and then poured into a mould by hand casting;
- After the casting has cooled down and been removed from the mould, the "sprue" is sawn off;
- Any minor unevenness can be removed by turning or sanding
- The induction coating is then applied (aluminium is non-magnetic and therefore inherently non-inductive);
- Now apply the non-stick coating
- The finished bodies are now stored until they are ordered. Once the order has been placed, the selected handles are assembled, the goods are packed - and dispatched.
About the coating
In our classic series, we work with the sealing of our LuxTec® coating. toothed and sealed.
For the Alex Wahi series, we work with the new LuxTec ® PEEK coating;

The material: aluminium
A few facts:
- Aluminium is the most abundant metal on earth.
- After iron, it is considered the second most important metal for industry;
- Aluminium has been used in production since around 1850;
- Aluminium conducts heat seven times faster than iron or steel.
75 percent of the aluminium ever produced is currently still in use
The really impressive thing, however, is "that around 75 per cent of the aluminium ever produced is still in use. " A large proportion of this has probably already been recycled several times and is already being reused by the third or fourth generation. It is therefore quite possible that one of our pans still contains aluminium that was extracted in 1888. In Germany, more recycled aluminium is produced than new aluminium. Up to 96 percent is recycled in the transport and construction sectors, and around 90 percent for packaging. The manufacturing process for new aluminium is energy-intensive. Compared to the initial production of the metal, the recycling process requires just five percent of the energy required. Aluminium is doubly sustainable
Conclusion: Thanks to its conductivity and the fact that aluminium is recycled again and again, our cookware is doubly sustainable, as its conductivity saves energy when cooking.
